[Rhodes22-list] Looking for Rhodes22 - Dr. Stiles; Thomas; et. al.

[ed kroposki]

Guys:

	When looking for a used Rhodes Sailboat, learn how to search the
archives. There are several Rhodes 22 sailboats for sail in the archives.  I
am sure that some are still for sale.  
	List members who are not the actual sellers routinely post many.
They have no interest in posting the information a second time unless you
research the archives and ask a direct question.  
	Also, read post about used boats versus recycled and new boats.
Some sellers have posted their boats and left the list, so you have to
contact them directly.  There are used Rhodes 22's out there.  However,
there is probably only one R22 for every hundred Catalina 22's, and for good
reason.
	Again guys, learn the basics of research.  If you are not interested
in doing some basic work, you probably do not deserve the best boat anyway.

Addendum: Thinking Outside The Box

Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of
owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender.

The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful
daughter. So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer's
debt if he could marry his daughter.

Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. So the
cunning money-lender suggested that they let providence decide the
matter.

He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an
empty money bag.

Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag.

If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her
father's debt would be forgiven.

If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's
debt would still be forgiven.

But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.

They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As
they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked
them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles
and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the
bag.

Now, imagine that you were standing in the field.

What would you have done if you were the girl?

If you had to advise her, what would you have told her?

Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:

The girl should refuse to take a pebble.
The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose
the
 money-lender as a cheat.
The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to
save her father from his debt and imprisonment.

Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with the
hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and
logical thinking. The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with traditional
logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses the above
logical answers.

What would you recommend to the Girl to do?

The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble without
looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path
where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.

"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the
bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I
picked."

Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had
picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his
dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an
extremely
advantageous one.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't
attempt to think outside the box.
